Old school porcupine hunting pic

It would be interesting to know the story behind this pic.

Have seen several pics like this in the past, mostly from areas like Wash/Ore or Maine where logging in managed timber areas is prevalent. These toothy critters do a lot of damage to younger trees when they end up girdling them to eat the tender inner bark. This is also an effective method of selectively killing trees, and the USFS and other agencies will actually girdle pine trees in quakie stands, to improve the mule deer aspen cover.

I'd say with a pile that high they had a problem, and they took care of it.

Don't those two look like identical twins?
Even down to the way they dress.

I know a few people who work in the forestry industry and they shoot porcupines on sight. I've never kille done.
I have always enjoyed watching them from a treestand while hunting.

Interesting. I thought the same thing about being twins. Got to love the old time photos and days
